Memories

MEMORIES
Галочка we are now in the winter of our lives.
Time has quickly slipped away
And I think of our lives together,
The moments that we enjoyed and treasure
What we have done and what we have seen
Our time in Kazakhstan that gave us so much pleasure
We admired the mountains of Almaty,
Our walks in those mountains, especially in the snow,
How we collected fresh water from the mountain stream
The times we were lived in England in a little village
there Our walks in the fairground very late at night
The magic and beauty of those nights we couldn’t divide
We stared at the heavens with awe and admiration
We tried to define and call many stars and constellations.
We made some, Perseus, Cygnus, Orion the Big Dipper.and others
Now we are in Russia, the city of Saint-Petersburg
There are no mountains, the stars we cannot see
But we still enjoy our nightly walks.
The 300 Anniversary Park its peace and tranquility
Although we have done and seen many things enjoyed
so many experiences and marvellous views
And now we cannot travel, can only think and dream
We can still enjoy our greatest treasure
A marvel and treasure the world could never give
It’s you Галочка and I being together

This photograph album is in loving memory of my wife
Galina Anatolievna Nikonova

I miss her smile. her cheerful face

Her love and warm embrace

She will live forever in my heart and my thoughts

 Galina Anatolyevna lost her fight with cancer on 27th January 2021.
After Galina was diagnosed with stage 4 heart failure at the end of 2018, and lung cancer in March 2019,
Galina had a positive attitude, full of optimism and enthusiasm.
Galina believed in quality of life, not quantity

I can't say either in writing or verbally what Galina and I meant to each other. I can use the old clichés
"the center of my world was everything to me", etc., etc., but these are just words used by every man
and his dog in songs, poems and books, and they have become meaningless words.

Galina said that words cannot convey love... You just need to feel it!!

Привет, Джон!
Спасибо за вашу письмо.
Я думаю, БОГ дал нам (и тебе, и мне) лучший подарок, о котором мы можем только мечтать!
Он познакомил нас, и мы любим друг друга.
А что будет дальше,зависит только от нас двоих (от нас с тобой).
Я благодарю БОГА за ВАС.
Дорогой Джон, я тоже очень хочу, чтобы мы были вместе вечно
Я целую тебя.
Галина.

Тому что сам БОГ сказал: " Джон и Галина - это одна целая
Душа. Они должны быть всегда вместе друг с другом.
Я помог им найти друг друга

Galina often said that we are real kindred spirits.

Because GOD himself chose us with each other and spoke:
"John and Galina are one single Soul."Because GOD himself said: “John and Galina are one whole Soul’.
They should always be together with each other.
I helped them find each other

 Mortimer Park; When we lived in Mortimer Common. England, opposite our apartment was a
large park. Galina loved to walk into the park at night and admire the stars.;
Galina was very interested in astronomy.
Galina always pointed out to me the constellations every time both in the mountains and in the park.

I could never identify the constellations until Galina pointed them out
Wherever we lived, when we walked at night, Galina always looked into the night sky in search of stars.
Galina said that the park and the mountains in Almaty are the two best places to see the night sky

Galina could never resist going on swings in any park

To :you

Мой самый любимый человек в этом мире - это ты, мой дорогой
Джон! Твоё письмо меня очень растрогало!
Я всегда любила получать письма от тебя!
Когда я уйду из этой жизни, то ты не грусти, потому что я всегда буду с тобой.
Я люблю тебя и всегда буду любить и заботиться о тебе,
потому что я всегда буду рядом и вместе с тобой .
Всё что будет происходить в твоей жизни хорошего, помни, что это я посылаю тебе с небес. Ок?
И ещё: будь всегда очень добрым и дружелюбным со всеми моими родственниками,
особенно с Романом и с Сашей. Ок?
Пожалуйста, помогай Роману, если видишь, что он нуждается помощи. Ок?
Благодарю тебя мой милый Джон, что ты появился в моей жизни и сделал меня счастливой!
Я люблю тебя и я люблю заботиться о тебе,
но сейчас пришло время для меня сказать тебе:
прости меня мой любимый Джон
за все мои вольные и невольные обиды, которые
я когда-либо сделала тебе. Прости меня! Ок?
